I maintain my (MySQL) databases in an agile fashion. That means I start small, and let my databases evolve along with my applications. So the schema changes a lot during development. I take into account that the databases already contain data and that it must be preserved and migrated. I wrote a howto on my upgrading method and it can be found here: http://www.howtoforge.org/node/4833 Hope this is of any help.
